Every person owning a house or an apartment is obligated to pay an annual waste management fee. The amount of the fee for a permanent residence is 32,26 € per year and for a part time residence 16,13 € per year.

WHAT KIND OF SERVICES ARE PRODUCED WITH THE FEE?

The collection and treatment of recyclable and hazardous wastes are provided free of charge. Waste disposal advice and information about recycling are also given for free. Napapiirin Residuum also supplements the area’s Eco-point network and organizes waste collecting tours.
